Use a shield like a sword...(Sephora)

[sephora]

"Well I don't know if all but my group of friends at least share quite a bit of my tastes but I'm the nature freak of them all. Also, I've never really traveled except to a single family reunion I went to when I was rather small that was in Vardo, Norway." Sephora grinned. Her legs were growing tired and it was getting harder for her to tred water as she was doing. She realized that he was sort of sad, though he was covering it with a happy sort of smile.

"Now I got a question for you Miss Sephora. Are all Armenians are as great as you? Also do you travel alot?" The girl laughed. Swimming slowly, she headed for the shore. "No, I cannot say in my limited experience that all Armenians are quite as amazing as I, dear Nymn." She threw a wink at him, "and no, I don't travel much. This is the first place I have been besides my home."

Reaching the bank, Sephora moved slowly out of the water and onto the grassy shore, "Let's dry off in the sun." Standing straight, the girl seemed completely oblivious to the fact that she was wearing very thin and wet black undergarments.

[Nymn Farshaw]

He smiled sweetly at her and nodded. "Well thats a shame that you've never been out before, but if I ever go to Armenia I hope the people there are as interesting as you." he said as they headed to the shore. He felt a lump form in his throat as she exited the water first to reveal the wet black undergarments she wore.

He felt his face flush but tried to subside it with other thoughts ones of nature and walking through a forest back home with his friends and joking around. Soon he felt his face cool down to a normal feeling and sat down in the grass next to her with his knees to his chest.

"So, you have never been out of your house? That is well, I don't mean to sound rude by this but that seems rather sad. Never able to explore beyond the borders of your own home, it shelters your world from all the other experiences out there, but you are only subjected to the home world and not the real world." He said and stopped for a moment in thought with a slightly puzzled look on his face as he stared at his feet.

"As I said before, I mean no offense and I assume your parents were just looking out for your well being but while it does protect you when your young, what will happen when you are older and don't realize some of the consequences some actions can have on you, I've seen it happen with my friends who were sheltered and one of them ended up ODing on alcohol because they wanted to know what it was like." He said now giving a blank stare at his feet.

"I'm not saying this to scare you its just my experience with people who lived sheltered lives and since well your my friends friend here, I don't know if you consider me a friend yet but I consider you one so I'll promise even if you don't want me too to keep you safe from stuff like that and bullies alright?" he said looking up at her and gave a soft grin.

[sephora]

Sephora stretched out on the soft grass, the sun warming her dark garments and caramel skin. Nymn came up the bank and sat in the grass beside her, seeming comfortable.

He then began to speak of the dangers of her sheltered life and how it saddened him that she had lived such a life. Sephora closed her eyes and smiled into the sun. He assumed so much and knew so little.

"I'm not saying this to scare you its just my experience with people who lived sheltered lives and since well your my friends friend here, I don't know if you consider me a friend yet but I consider you one so I'll promise even if you don't want me too to keep you safe from stuff like that and bullies alright?"

Rolling onto her side, the girl propped her head on her hand. "My dear Nymn," she began, "I consider you a friend as you consider me one. My life is not as sheltered as you seem to think. I have lived a life farther than anything you could imagine, I think. My home was the size of an entire village, it was a compound of sorts. Though I am sorry that your friend had a hard time, be assured that I will not succumb to that fate."

Seeing the look on his face that was directed toward his feet, Sephora reached out. He could never know that her father was a druglord and she knew the dangers of every depressant and narcotic that one could get into themselves, including alcohol.

"I do appreciate you wishing to protect me, though. It is a wonderful gesture, and if anyone bullies me you shall be the first person I go to."

[Nymn Farshaw]

He looked at her and gave her a sweet grin, this one actually cheerful. So she would accept him as a friend, that was a relief, he'd hate to go his whole school life with none. He then looked at her with his elbows resting on the grass behind him.

He then smiled and looked at her. "Alright, Miss Sephora I will take your word for your estate being that large, I know little of Armenia so I assume that your father is quite influencial upon the town or you are just rich." he said with a laugh.

He looked over to the pond and saw the water sparkle. Thats when she said that he would be the first one she would tell of bullies or the like. Well that was good, he liked keeping friends safe. He didn't understand why but it was just his nature in doing so.

He looked from the water sliding his view up to her looking from her feet to her lovely face which was propped up on a slender hand. "Alright I will be sure to do what I can to keep you safe." He said with a smile and bowed as much as he could in the sitting position. He then did something even he would be shocked to do in a moment. He then leaned forward and kissed her forehead.

When he pulled back his eyes had gone wide in shock of the act he had just done. He had just met the girl and he was already kissing her forehead. He didn't know what to expect from Sephora but he braced for the worst.

[sephora]

"Alright, Miss Sephora I will take your word for your estate being that large, I know little of Armenia so I assume that your father is quite influencial upon the town or you are just rich." Leaning her head back, the girl smiled at him, though he wasn't looking at her. Watching him, she admired his hair. Sephora had never met someone with such a distinct color, though she wasn't fool enough to know it wasn't natural.

Looking back to his eyes, Sephora saw that he was dragging his eyes along her barely covered body. "Alright I will be sure to do what I can to keep you safe." Opening her mouth to say something, she stopped as he reached towards her and kissed her gently on the forhead. The boy leaned away and Sephora didn't quite know what to do.

The girl thought of the women in her life that she knew well, and how they would respond. Unfortunately, the only woman she had ever been close to was Ms. Kassune. Sitting up, the gorgeous girl traced Nymn's jaw and leaned forward. She moved her hand to his and placed it on her back, kissing him softly on the mouth.

[Nymn Farshaw]

He looked at her and expected a slap or a tongue lashing. Either or would have been just for what he had done without her permission. But what he got only added more to the shock. Or really added to the shock plus made his blood boil and face burn crimson.

She had taken his hand and put it on her back and kissed him. Kissed HIM. He had never even suspected or considered the fact she might like him. If anything when he had a crush on a girl he would beat himself up and he would end up being the girls best friend and nothing more would happen. But this time it seemed this girl, Sephora, a girl he had just met maybe half an hour ago was now kissing him.

This had been his first kiss so he knew not what to do, should he pull away or kiss her back? He liked her, yes he did but he did not know if he loved her. Love was a strong enough word that you must be careful on how you use it, just like the word Hate. He then with a slight bitterness in himself pulled away softly but swiftly. His face as red as the crimson dye in his hair. "I...Uh..Didn't mean it to be like that...it was just a friendly thing...You did not need to kiss me back..." he said stammering and almost tripping over his own words. He just hoped she wouldn't be sad over this, he liked her and she was his best friend but he didn't know if she had done it to be nice or had done it because she had feelings for him.

[sephora]

Nymn pulled back. "I...Uh..Didn't mean it to be like that...it was just a friendly thing...You did not need to kiss me back..." Sephora was slightly surprised, but wasn't quite sure why. She had never kissed anyone like this before, especially since she wasn't quite sure how she felt about the boy. So far he was her closest friend, other than Joar, and she had just had the urge to kiss him.

"It's ok, Nymn. I don't want to have a relationship, just a friendship, hopefully a close one. Right now, though, I want to get close to you." The girl moved closer to him so that her body was nearly pressed against his, but not quite. Taking a hold of his wrist, she slid it across her smooth skin to rest in the small of her back. "Now stop worrying and kiss me."

A seductive light in Sephora's eye glinted as she ran her fingers in a soft circle around the skin of his shoulder lightly. The girl turned her head down slightly and looked back up so that there would be an emphasis on her dark eyelashes. The girl hoped that this didn't ruin what could be a good friendship, but for some reason she just wanted to kiss him.

[Nymn Farshaw]

He looked at her with wide eyes, she had kissed him for nothing more then a kiss, either he should feel really honored or really insulted he knew not which it was but he nodded in silence as he looked into her eyes. She then had tilted her head down and moved herself closer to him along with taking his hand and putting it on the small of her back. His face grew even more crimson then before not knowing what to do.

She said she wanted to be closer to him and that she wanted him to kiss her. She then made a circle on his arm with a soft finger. He felt his heart race and skip beats countless times, he didn't know what he was to do but he did like her.

He felt the lump in his throat again but took his hand slowly from the small of her back. Almost as if he would pull away surely but instead placed them on her hips and leaned forward to give her a soft but sweet kiss right on her lips. He didn't know what kind of kiss she wanted as it was his first one to give but he would find out what kind of kiss she really wanted in a moment if she kissed back.

[sephora]

Sephora was suddenly unsure of herself as his hand shifted. The girl thought that perhaps he was unattracted to her and was trying to be nice about not wanting to kiss her, but her fears were all wiped away as his large hand rested gently on her hip.

The kiss that followed was soft and sweet, it was perfect. She returned it just as gently. The kiss lasted for a while though it felt like just a fleeting moment. Sephora was quick to deliver another once it had ended, this one with a bit of urgency behind it. Pulling away for a moment, the girl spoke softly, her warm breath caressing his cheek, "Good choice." She then kissed him again, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him to the ground so that her back pressed against the soft grass.

[Nymn Farshaw]

He was returned by a kiss that equaled if not surpassed what he had given her, it was his first time kissing a girl so he was extremely nervous about it. He had to use almost all his willpower to just keep himself from shaking at the thoughts of doing something she might not like.

The kiss lasted a few well spent minutes, ones he knew he would never forget. He probably would never forget this day for the events that had unfolded today. His first friend and his first kiss in less then 5 minutes.

She then had said 'good choice' wrapping her arms around his neck and pulled him on top of her as her back was now on the grass. His eyes went wide as she did this and placed his hands from her sides to the ground below her ribs.

He gave a soft smile. He may have kissed her but he did not think he was up to touching her much. After all half an hour ago he had been to shy to even look at her when she wore what she had worn. To him and his mentality he felt like that would be stepping a bit too far past friendship. "Well I'm glad it made you happy Miss Sephora." he said with a easy smile. "But I apologize if it was not as good as you hoped since well....it was my first kiss..." he said in a soft and self disappointed voice.

[sephora]

"Well I'm glad it made you happy Miss Sephora but I apologize if it was not as good as you hoped since well....it was my first kiss..." He said this with a soft smile. Sephora could tell he was a little nervous, so she placed her delicate hand on his chest and pushed him to the right. She moved to lay on her side, kissing him gently on the nose with a cute smile.

"Well Nymn, you are definitaly a natural." Her slanting accent rolled off her tongue. Reaching her face towards him once more, she pressed her mouth against his once more. Biting his lip gently, Sephora pulled away.

Rolling from her side back to her back, the girl smiled up at the sky. "I'm glad I've found a friend. Know that I don't ever randomly kiss my friends." Sephora winked at him, "This morning when I woke up, I decided today I would follow my instincts."

[Nymn Farshaw]

She had given him a soft smile in return and had placed a hand on his chest, he didn't know what was happening but he soon found out. She had pushed him to the right and kissed his nose and giving him a cute smile. He smiled back and listened to what she had to say.

Evidently he was a natural at kissing and gave a good dose of her accent and letting it roll off her tongue. He couldn't tell she was being seductive or not but he was half afraid to see her try to be seductive.

She then pressed her lips to his and kissed him rather forcefully and bit his lip. She then pulled away and said she never randomly kissed her friends but today she followed her instincts. He didn't know what that really meant since it could mean many different things. He just gave a soft smile and kissed her nose.

When she rolled to her back looking up at the sky he did the same and gave himself a soft smile inwardly. "Well Sephora, I will admit, I never have kissed a girl before but I'm glad it was you. Your a really terrific girl and sweeter then honey." he said as he looked at the puffy white clouds.

He didn't know his feelings for her yet but he could honestly say he hoped they would be good since he really liked her but would rather keep their friendship together then have a relationship, unless of course thats what she wanted. After all she was his first friend here and he wanted to make that person feel special no matter what the cost.

[sephora]

Well Sephora, I will admit, I never have kissed a girl before but I'm glad it was you. Your a really terrific girl and sweeter then honey." She turned her face from the clouds to smile at him. Looking back to the sky, the girl spoke, "I'm sorry for stealing your first kiss the way I did."

Digging her fingers into the dirt, soft grass sprouted beneath them, creating a softer resting place. Sephora hoped he hadn't really noticed the change, since it was slight, but that he would be more comfortable. The girl really didn't feel up to hiding her Qi from her new friend and she had promised her father to not tell anyone about it, though Corgan had figured it out and she was pretty sure Joar had as well. Sephora had trouble keeping secrets.

[Nymn Farshaw]

He smiled as they watched the clouds pass by, she said she had been sorry for taking his first kiss like that. He shook his head and laughed. "Don't be, I'm glad it was you, really I am, your an amazing girl and I'm surprised that at school you aren't beating guys off with a stick to get to your next class" he said with a laugh.

He felt something odd about the ground but he just shrugged it off as some grass starting to itch his back or that he was compressing the grass still and now it was starting to bulk up around his back. He wiggled a bit getting comfortable again and continued looking up at the clouds with his hands behind his head.

He didn't want the conversation to end there so he decided to change to something else. "So, why are you here? I mean this is a prison school so who did you kill or what crime did you commit to be put in here?" he asked her curiously.

[sephora]

Sephora saw him wiggling and smiled to herself.

"So, why are you here? I mean this is a prison school so who did you kill or what crime did you commit to be put in here?"

Well, that was a question she had been hoping to avoid. Not many of the students that went here had the same reason that she did, if any. "Well, I'm here because it's safe. It was no longer safe for me to be at home, even with my bodyguards, so my father sent me here." Sephora peeked over to see his reaction. Would he assume she was a spoiled rich girl and shun her? Would he perhaps look down on her for not being a criminal? Was he a criminal?

"What about you?
